Afternoon folks,
The Steel On One 45650b only has one bottle mount on the down tube despite having ample room for a second mount on the seat tube.
The 45650b has DN6 double butted cro-mo tubing, whatever than means.
Is this a terrible idea? I have access to a good machine / metal workshop who could do a proper job for me and insert threads etc.
Warranty aside, what are the cons? What are the chances of a cataclysmic frame failure?
Do you have rivnuts and access to a rivnut tool? Drilling the hole without a threaded insert is pointless...
Yes and yes
Do you not want the space for a dropper or to be able to drop a regular seatpost?
There's plenty of band-on options about, but nothing to stop you doing the rivnut thing if you want to.
I thought dn6 was on ones post code at the time they started useing it
